Report to Congress by the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator on the Involvement of Faith-Based Organizations in Activities of the

Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria

May 2008

The Administration provides this Report pursuant to Section 625(b) of the Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2008 (Division J, Public Law 110-161), which requires the U.S. Secretary of State to submit a report to the Committees on Appropriations “on the involvement of faith-based organizations in Global Fund Programs. The report shall include (1) on a country-by-country basis – (A) a description of the amount of grants and sub-grants provided to faith-based organizations; and (B) a detailed description of the involvement of faith-based organizations in the Country Coordinating Mechanism (CCM) process of the Global Fund; and (2) a description of actions the Global Fund is taking to enhance the involvement of faith-based organizations in the CCM process, particularly in countries in which the involvement of faith-based organizations has been underrepresented.”

Background

Globally, local faith-based organizations (FBOs) remain an underutilized resource for expanding the reach of quality health care. They are among the first responders to community needs, with a reach that enables them to deliver effective interventions for hard-to-reach or underserved populations, such as people living with HIV/AIDS and orphans. FBOs and community-based organizations (CBOs), trained in program management and HIV/AIDS best practices, often design the most culturally appropriate and responsive interventions, and have the legitimacy and authority to implement successful programs that deal with sensitive subjects. The U.S. government, as the founding and largest donor to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria (Global Fund), continues to play a leadership role in ensuring the success of this important international effort. The Global Fund is based on a unique model that relies on partnerships among governments; civil society, including FBOs and CBOs; international organizations; bilateral and multilateral partners; the private sector; and affected communities in the fight against HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis (TB), and malaria. Within the Global Fund architecture, FBOs can engage with Global Fund programs in three primary ways: as members of Country Coordinating Mechanisms (CCMs) or CCM delegations, as Principal Recipients (PRs), or as Sub-Recipients (SRs).

As the Global Fund continues to grow and adjust its systems and requirements to meet its stated goals, the Global Fund reports a focus on increasing the involvement of FBOs in Global Fund grants. Although the proportion of FBOs as a percentage of organizations financed by the Global Fund remains quite low, the Global Fund Secretariat indicates that it is undertaking efforts to increase the role of FBOs in Global Fund programs.

The Global Fund’s Executive Director, Professor Michel Kazatchkine, has publicly recognized that FBOs are a “critical component” in the response to disease, and that “FBOs must be an integral part of our work if we truly hope to succeed and defeat these pandemics.”1 Recognizing the need to better engage FBOs for long-term success, the Global Fund reports that it has undertaken various means of expanding outreach and reforming policy 1 Kazatchkine, Michel.

to facilitate greater partnership with the faith-based community. These include refined CCM guidelines that explicitly mention the importance of FBO representation; conducting outreach and technical workshops for FBOs; producing publications to enhance FBO participation with the Global Fund; and instituting specific grant-management measures to bring in additional non-governmental partners. (Links to the publications may be found in the appendix.) Country-by-country description of the amount of grants and sub-grants provided to faith-based organizations

To address this question, the Office of the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator asked the Global Fund Secretariat to provide the requisite data. The Global Fund Secretariat derived this data from a 2006 Principal Recipient Survey, which is the most comprehensive initiative to date to collect information on country-level allocations of disbursed funds. However, the data are not complete, as only 85 percent of all PRs and SRs responded. The Global Fund is currently compiling the 2007 Principal Recipient Survey. In the future, reporting on disbursements to and expenditures from PRs and SRs should be more systematic through the newly required Enhanced Financial Reporting System at the Global Fund Secretariat. (Please refer to the 2008 Report to Congress by the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator on Oversight Information Pertaining to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria for a detailed description of the Enhanced Financial Reporting System.) Once this system is in place within a country, the Global Fund will be able to report on FBOs’ receipt of money, drugs, and commodities through Global Fund programs. The Global Fund Secretariat expects to provide initial results from this system in mid to late 2008, and information on the entire Global Fund grant portfolio will be available in early 2009.

From the inception of the Global Fund to the present, eleven different

FBOs have served as PRs on Global Fund grants. Based on the 2006 Principal Recipient Survey, the Global Fund reports nine FBOs received funds as PRs in that year, and at least 488 FBOs received funds as SRs; the Global Fund reports that additional FBOs also received funds as sub-SRs, but the survey did not quantify this information. However, additional analysis shows that of the 488 FBO SRs the Global Fund reports received disbursements in 2006, almost half (231) were in Zambia, which leaves only

Page 4: Report to Congress by the US Global AIDS Coordinator

257 FBO SRs that received disbursements throughout the remainder of the 338 grants in 118 Global Fund countries active at that time.2

Between 2002 and October 2007, the total amount of financing

approved by the Global Fund Board for FBO PRs was $186 million; total disbursements to these PRs totaled $110 million (Appendix 1). In 2006 alone, disbursements to FBO PRs and SRs totaled $92 million, or 5.4 percent of all Global Fund disbursements to PRs and SRs in that year. (Please see Appendix 2 for a country-by-country breakdown of disbursements to FBO PRs and SRs for 2006.)

In addition to the monetary grant disbursements to FBOs, bulk purchases of drugs and commodities paid for by Global Fund grants also reached these organizations. In order to gain a better understanding of the quantities of drugs and commodities that go to FBOs across all grants and countries, the Global Fund conducted a field visit to Tanzania in October 2007 to sample the flow of these resources to SRs. The report from this visit indicated FBOs received 31 percent of the total disbursement of the artemisinin-based combination treatment for malaria from Global Fund resources, and the following percentages of other drugs and commodities for the following sites/services: 33 percent for antiretroviral treatment sites, two percent for sites that offer voluntary counseling and testing, 13 percent of motor vehicles, and 46 percent for orphan care (see Appendix 3). The Global Fund therefore concluded from these data that the involvement of FBOs (including resources directed to FBOs) was greater than what the budget submissions to the Global Fund Secretariat reflect.

The Global Fund data highlight a few outstanding examples of countries in which FBOs are particularly involved in the management and implementation of Global Fund grants. In Zambia, the Churches Health Association of Zambia (CHAZ) serves as co-PR on five grants, through which its share of disbursements to date has been over $70 million. CHAZ then disburses a significant portion of this money to FBO SRs: 411 local FBOs for HIV grants, 73 local FBOs for TB grants, and 75 local FBOs for

2 Note: Additional analysis draws on data available from the Global Fund website. According to the site, by the end of 2006 the Global Fund Board had approved a total of 342 grants started in 119 countries (including multi-country programs). However, the 2006 Principal Recipient data from the Global Fund had an 85-percent response rate, so this dataset is not representative of all grants at that time.

malaria grants.3 Globally, World Vision International (an international FBO) functions as a PR in four countries, as a SR in 17 countries (on a total of 22 grants), and serves as a member of the CCM in 11 countries.

Although the strides made by these and a handful of other FBOs in scaling up involvement in Global Fund grants are promising, strong FBO networks in many countries are not yet accessing Global Fund resources. Future reports as a result of the Global Fund Secretariat’s Enhanced Financial Reporting System should shed light on the Global Fund’s progress in implementing greater FBO participation in programming. Country-by-country detailed description of the involvement of faith-based organizations in the Country Coordinating Mechanism process of the Global Fund

One of the founding principles of the Global Fund is “country ownership” of programs. In that spirit, the Global Fund recognizes “the importance of national contexts, customs and traditions and therefore does not intend to prescribe specific CCM compositions.”4 At the same time, Global Fund grants are also meant to constitute a partnership among all stakeholders in a country, notably including civil society organizations. The Global Fund Board therefore established guidelines that strongly recommend that CCMs broadly represent all national stakeholders, and should include at least 40 percent of the membership from civil society organizations (including FBOs).

The Global Fund Secretariat reported that of the 120 CCMs5 for which it was able to access information, 94 (78 percent) had at least one FBO representative. Global Fund data show that, worldwide, FBOs comprise six percent of total CCM membership, although membership varies by region. In Eastern Africa and West and Central Africa, the percentage of FBO representation of total membership is highest at 8.6 percent and 8.5 percent, respectively; in Eastern Europe, the percentage of FBO representation of total membership is the lowest, at 3.2 percent. (See Appendix 4 for a country-by-country breakdown of FBO CCM members.) 3 This number of FBO SRs is a sum total of all FBO SRs over the lifetime of the grants. The previous mention of 231 FBO SRs under CHAZ refers only to the FBOs receiving grants in that particular year. Not all SRs receive separate tranches of grant funding during every year of the grant. 4 The Global Fund. “Revised Guidelines on the Purpose, Structure and Composition of Country Coordinating Mechanisms and Requirements for Grant Eligibility.” 2005; Page 4. 5 As of April 2008, the Global Fund website lists a total of 130 CCMs.

FBOs are especially active in the health care sector in Sub-Saharan

Africa and Latin America and the Caribbean, which could be expected to translate into higher levels of FBO involvement in CCMs in these regions. While the Global Fund Secretariat’s data show that, in general, the share of Global Fund finances that goes to FBOs is higher in these regions than in others, FBOs are significantly under-represented in these CCMs relative to the overall share of interventions they provide within the health sector. Enhancing the involvement of faith-based organizations in the CCM process, particularly in countries in which faith-based organizations have been underrepresented

U.S. government participation in the Global Fund has been instrumental in promoting changes to Global Fund policies and procedures to expand the participation of FBOs and CBOs in the implementation of Global Fund grants. In line with these efforts, the Global Fund Board and Secretariat have taken steps to address the involvement of FBOs and CBOs in Global Fund programs, including by refining CCM guidelines, sponsoring workshops, supporting publications, and instituting new grant-management requirements.

Included in the most recent version of CCM guidelines for Round 8 is an explicit mention of the importance of FBO representation on CCMs. CCMs must consider this guidance seriously as the Global Fund’s independent Technical Review Panel will consider CCM composition in the evaluation of future proposals. Text from the revised CCM guidelines appears below:

The membership of the CCM should comprise a minimum of 40 percent representation of the non-government sectors, such as NGOs/community based organizations, people living with the diseases, key affected populations, religious/faith-based organizations, private sector, academic institutions (see Annex 1 on “the types of civil society and private sector representation most relevant to the work of CCMs”). 6

Within the description of civil-society organizations, the Global Fund Secretariat characterizes religious and faith-based groups as the following:

Religious and Faith-Based Groups: In many settings religious and faith based organizations play a vital role in reaching communities infected and affected by the three diseases. Not only do these organizations and groups provide crucial services but some are instrumental in convincing political leaders at the national, regional and local level to prioritize the needs of affected populations. They are increasingly becoming involved in implementation of interventions and provide a valuable role in the development of effective proposals.7

Efforts to Encourage Greater Engagement with FBOs

To help FBOs engage more effectively with CCMs and gain access to Global Fund resources as PRs or SRs, the Global Fund, in coordination with various faith-based institutions, has recently hosted several workshops and events for this audience. In March 2007, the Global Fund Executive Director met with FBO representatives to launch a manual for FBOs to guide them in engaging with the Global Fund. In March 2007, the Global Fund facilitated the launch of a publication intended to provide guidance to entities who might want to collaborate with FBOs on HIV/AIDS projects. In April 2008, the Global Fund sent a representative to the White House Faith-Based and Community Initiatives Conference on African Health Initiatives in Zambia to discuss Global Fund programs with the participants; also in April 2008 the Global Fund convened a workshop in Tanzania with FBOs throughout Sub-Saharan Africa to begin a dialogue on challenges and successes in FBO engagement. A July 2008 Global Fund-led workshop during the Ecumenical Pre-International AIDS Conference in Mexico City will be part of the follow-up to the Tanzania meeting. See Appendix 5 for the Global Fund’s brief description of the publications and workshops, as well as links to the publications.

To encourage and strengthen civil-society (including FBO) leadership in managing Global Fund grants, the Global Fund Board established, at its 15th meeting, a dual-track financing system (Appendix 6), which stipulates that Global Fund proposals should include both government and non-

government PRs. The goal of this recommendation is “to increase the representation of civil society organizations across the entire Global Fund portfolio.”

Two upcoming Global Fund workshops focused on scaling up the involvement of FBOs are taking place in the Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America and the Caribbean regions. Conclusion

FBOs are already substantially involved in Global Fund programs in a number of countries, in many of which international FBOs are supporting their country offices to gain access to Global Fund resources. It is encouraging that the new Global Fund Executive Director has publicly acknowledged that FBOs must play an integral role in efforts to address the three diseases, and that the Global Fund’s mechanisms have not adequately tapped the capacity of community- and faith-based organizations.

The Global Fund board and secretariat have taken steps to increase the involvement of the faith-based community in Global Fund activities, by encouraging greater representation on CCMs and an increased role in grant implementation. Over the next year, it will be important to: review the initial reports of these initiatives; assess whether dual-track financing positively affects access by FBOs to Global Fund resources; assess whether the Enhanced Financial Reporting System provides a clearer picture of disbursements to FBOs; and assess whether the workshops lead to greater FBO involvement.

The U.S. government, through the Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), is also continuing to support initiatives that will encourage increased involvement by FBOs in Global Fund programs. PEPFAR has coordinated with the Global Fund on its FBO conferences, and is working to include Global Fund representation in similar PEPFAR opportunities. More broadly, as PEPFAR continues to expand its partnerships with community- and faith-based organizations, it enhances the technical capacity, organizational development, and networking ability of those organizations – which should enable them to better understand and compete for Global Fund resources. Specific PEPFAR initiatives, such as local capacity-building programs and the New Partners Initiative, emphasize financial management

and donor diversification, so that community and faith-based organizations can gain access to various funding sources, including Global Fund grants.

Appendix 5: Faith-Based Organization-Focused Global Fund Publications and Workshops

*Text provided by the Global Fund Secretariat Publication: Scaling up Effective Partnerships: A Guide to Working with Faith-Based Organizations in the response to HIV and AIDS In March 2007, the Global Fund facilitated the launch of the publication Scaling up Effective Partnerships: A Guide to Working with Faith-Based Organizations in the response to HIV and AIDS9, co-produced by Church World Service, Ecumenical Advocacy Alliance, Norwegian Church Aid, UNAIDS, and World Conference of Religions for Peace. The guide is intended to provide background information and case studies, counteract myths and give practical guidance to people who want to collaborate with faith-based organizations on joint projects related to HIV and AIDS. The launch took place in Oslo in connection with the first Meeting of the Global Fund Second Replenishment (March 6-7, 2007). The Global Fund Secretariat further supported the wide distribution of this publication, through its Fund Portfolio Managers to country partners. Manual: Engaging with the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria: A Primer for Faith-Based Organizations In May 2007, the Executive Director of the Global Fund met with representatives of FBOs in Washington, D.C. for the launch of a manual entitled, “Engaging with the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria: A Primer for Faith-Based Organizations,” a 49-page document designed to help FBOs better engage with the Global Fund to enhance participation at multiple levels of the model. The manual was published as a joint effort between Christian Connections for International Health, World Vision International, and Friends of the Global Fight (USA).10 Workshop: Scaling Up Involvement of Faith-Based Organizations in Global Fund Processes (April 2008, Tanzania) In April 2008, the Global Fund will convene a meeting in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania with faith-based organization representatives from sub-Saharan Africa. The meeting will be the largest meeting ever organized by the Global Fund to address the specific needs of the faith-based community and to highlight the relationship which already exists. Specifically, the meeting will review:

o Contributions made so far by FBOs, either as Principal Recipients or Sub-recipients; o Increasing recipient demand and avenues for increasing the role of FBOs as PRs

and in scaling up Global Fund resourced programs; o Better engagement of FBOs in CCMs; o Global Fund investments with FBOs; o FBO experience with country coordinating mechanisms, as PRs and SRs, working

with vulnerable groups, and models of sub-recipient management; and, o Global Fund perspectives on proposal processes, assessments of principal recipients

and monitoring and evaluation of community-based groups. During the conference, participants will identify strategies for increasing FBOs involvement with the Global Fund with a goal of increasing the number of FBO proposals in Round 8 and in future rounds. Workshop: Follow-Up Workshop during Ecumenical Pre-International AIDS Conference (July 2008, Mexico) As a follow-up to the April conference, in July 2008 the Global Fund will organize a workshop during the Ecumenical Pre-International AIDS Conference in Mexico City.

Christians from all over the world are expected to participate in plenary sessions, skills building workshops and daily worship. The workshop will relate and follow up on the outcomes of the April FBO meeting and provide key information for FBOs to access Global Fund resources .

Appendix 6: Decision Point on Dual-Track Financing *Global Fund 15th Board Meeting

Decision Point GF/B15/DP14: The Board believes that civil society and the private sector can, and should, play a critical role at all levels of the architecture and within every step of the processes of the Global Fund, at both the institutional and country levels. This includes their critical roles in the development of policy and strategy and in resource mobilization at the Global Fund Board level, and in the development of proposals and the implementation and oversight of grants at the country level. The Board further expresses its desire for strengthened and scaled-up civil-society and private-sector involvement at both the country and Board levels, while recognizing the respective strengths and roles of the two sectors. With this goal in mind – and also reaffirming the importance of effective Country Coordinating Mechanisms (CCMs)11 in ensuring strong country-level development of proposals and oversight of grants – the Board recognizes the need to further enable civil society and the private sector to play their critical roles, facilitated by the following:

• The routine inclusion, in proposals for Global Fund financing, of both government and non-government Principal Recipients (PRs) for Global Fund grants (“dual-track financing”). The Board recommends the submission of proposals with both government and non-government PRs. If a proposal does not include both government and non-government PRs, it should contain an explanation of the reason for this;

• The routine inclusion, in proposals for Global Fund financing, of requests for

funding of relevant measures to strengthen the community systems necessary for the effective implementation of Global Fund grants;

• The effective representation and meaningful participation of vulnerable groups

(as defined in the context of each particular country) on CCMs; and • Simplified CCM access to funding to support their effective administrative

functioning, for the life of a grant that the CCM is overseeing when needed, and increased transparency by CCMs about how they plan to ensure access by civil society to such funding.

The Board requests the Secretariat to take the necessary actions and collaborate with partners to achieve the above outcomes, working with the relevant Board committee(s), where necessary. In particular, the Board requests the Policy and Strategy Committee to agree on a suitable definition of the term “civil society,” by building on existing work to that effect.

11 All references to a CCM include – in addition to a Country Coordinating Mechanism – a Sub-National CCM and a Regional Coordinating Mechanism, and in the case of a non-CCM proposal (where relevant) a grant applicant.

In addition, the Board requests the Portfolio Committee (PC) to do the following:

• Modify future proposal forms and guidelines (starting with those for Round 8) to encourage the use of dual-track financing and the inclusion of funding requests for strengthening community systems in proposals;

• Propose means to increase the representation of vulnerable groups on CCMs, such as by revising the relevant, current recommendation on the composition of CCMs;

• Propose guidance to CCMs regarding types of civil-society and private-sector representatives that could be most relevant to the work of CCMs;

• Propose appropriate modifications to the policy or guidance on the funding for CCM activities;

• Propose guidance on increasing the capacity of the Technical Review Panel in the area of civil society and the private sector; and

• Report on progress at the Sixteenth Board Meeting.

Regarding dual-track financing, the Board notes the following:

• The possible benefits achieved through dual-track financing include increased absorption capacity (from taking full advantage of the implementation capacity of all domestic sectors, both governmental and non-governmental), accelerated implementation and performance of grants, and the strengthening of weaker sectors; and

• CCMs, PRs and the Secretariat should implement dual-track financing according to the following principles:

⎯ The implementation should be consistent with alignment and harmonization of efforts to fight the three diseases;

⎯ It should be consistent with national strategies to fight the three diseases, or there should be a justification stated when this is not the case;

⎯ It should seek to minimize transaction costs and demands on CCMs, PRs and the Secretariat;

⎯ It should apply equally the same expectations of accountability, transparency and responsibility to government and non-government PRs; and

⎯ It should seek to be consistent with national plans for human resources for

health.

The Board requests the Secretariat to consult with the Finance and Audit Committee to further analyze and refine the estimates of budgetary implications, including possible costs and savings, of this decision and report its findings to the Sixteenth Board Meeting.
